One Block Wonder?
Has anyone uses a die cutter for one block wonder triangles?
|
I've used the 60 degree triangle die, works great.
|
The 6 repeat triangles have to be stacked perfectly and matched perfectly. As long as you can do that with the die cutter, it would work.
|
no reason that can't be done using the Accuquilt. just watch you pin placement.

Yes, I've made several. You have to make sure it's an equilateral triangle, I have a studio and used this die:
http://www.accuquilt.com/cutting-die...-finished.html it's a bit bigger than I would have liked, but the other one they offer cuts the fabric in a hexagon shape and I think it would be more difficult to position the fabric. Looks like they only have one for the GO!: http://www.accuquilt.com/cutting-die...-finished.html What I did was after you match & layer the fabric & shake it into submission, I used my sewing machine and made bar tacks every 3-4 inches over the whole stack, like you were pinning a sandwich together. I make a lot of tacks, but it goes quickly. This way, I could remove all the pins before I used the die cutter. It really helps to keep the stack from shifting as you need to manipulate the fabric a bit more using the die cutter. If you don't have a bar tack (or sew on button) option on your machine, shorten your stitch width & do a couple wide zig zags. |
